S2 Ep1: Getting out of Teaching

i am Laura - Season 2 - My Inspiration - Ep 1

This second season of the i am Laura podcast is all about the evolution of my journey and how I have grown to where my business is today.

I am sharing with you through a series of interviews, the people who inspired me and helped me on this journey.

The support I needed to rebuild my strength and my belief.

The first person was Jo Howard.

Jo is the CEO of Adventures After Teaching. A group that helps teachers to understand their worth, deal with the emotion of leaving teaching and empowers them to find new and fulfilling jobs and careers.

Without Jo I would not have known where to start with rebuilding my life after having to leave my 18 year teaching career because of my facial pain.

She runs a free Facebook group and a paid membership. Supporting your emotional health as well as the practical side of building CVs, applying for jobs and interview techniques.

I am so grateful to her for her guidance and support at that particularly low period of my life.

Juggling Chronic Illness, Kids, a Job and a Dream

Are you a busy mum? An entrepreneur? Or, do you have a job? I know you are trying to juggle so many things and then, just to add to the mix, you also have 1, maybe 2 or 3 chronic illnesses...

I am all of those things, but don't want to give up on wanting more and getting all the joy I can out of my life.

In this podcast, I share the raw realities of living with chronic illness while juggling motherhood, career, and still chasing my dreams. This is a journey of resilience & acceptance.

I offer insights, support, and encouragement drawn from my own experiences to help fellow female entrepreneurs find hope and inspiration. I also share the practical strategies I used to help me manage my mental health when times were particularly tough.

Whether you're living with chronic illness or supporting someone who is, I offer uplifting stories and a dose of positivity.

Join me to have someone that you can listen to for a few minutes, that understands life dealing with chronic illnesses as well as trying to keep up with everything else!

There will be a new episode every month, so subscribe to stay updated & join my email list to receive news and the free journaling prompts that helped me with my mental health during tough times.

Together we can tackle life with chronic illness with resilience, hope, bravery, and strength.
